A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

It's a common or garden variety windowsill, related to many different types of windowsills you might see around your neighborhood most times of the year.
Not only in my own neighborhood! My elementary school was in a building almost completely made out of marble. It's a really old building. The staircases were RIDDLED with fossils. :)
Most of the fossils in the schools I went to were in administration.
- That's how much detention you got
- That's where you hid from the classes/teachers
- Other
No idea what specie has taught you to photo, but I don't have the slightest idea what I am looking at.
I just remembered learning in junior high that marble and some other rock types used in construction sometimes contain fossils that look like this.
My dibs would be on MTB (birota montium) on the left and its road sibling (birota viae) on the right :)
I knew it! Now, it’s finally confirmed, that these awesome means of transportation originated in the very primordial elements - hydrogen, helium and lithium - that turned into the cozy universe-chan that we know and love today. Thanks for enlightening me! :)
This fella pedals
That paper clip looking guy had me convinced this was a joke and looking for gags in the other pictures and names, until I looked it up...
NOICE. Which one do you recommend to have as a pet? :3
